The
first time I saw pictures of Neverwinter Nights, and found
out it was a Dungeons and Dragons game, I could not wait
till it was released. The game itself is awesome just because
you can play either side; you can choose to fight with companions,
to search for treasure and adventure, or you can be the
Dungeon Master (Dungeon Master is like the story creator)
to seal their fate.
The
game is set in medieval times and with that comes the poverty
and economy. There is a plague covering your kingdom, and
it's your job to find the antidote. Throughout the game
you go through adventures and follow the story to either
fail or succeed. Either way, the game and the story is a
blast.
But,
that's not even the best part of NWN! It also comes with
an original game editor, where you can create your own stories
for people to play via Internet. Your pretty much all that
determines what happens because you can do whatever you
feel if you do happen to have wanderers in your lands.
There
are a few graphic problems. System requirements that you
need to play the game are ugly. But, if you have the right
equipment, I highly recommend this game for any D&D
fan or RPG junky. The graphics are nothing to be worried
about, as you can see below (screenshots), its just the
lag with the format that drop the score.
The
sound is also comforting. A lot of time was put into the
sound, so sit back and listen to it once and a while. The
music gets you into the game, and whatever the occasion
you'll always be glad to listen to an Orchestrated sound
track.
Overall,
I think Neverwinter Nights is worth the purchase. The game
can keep you busy for days, and the adventures are never
ending.
